Alright, let’s break this down the other way. Rusty here.
We are looking at a long quiet patch for Kennebunk Beach. The water is about 64°F, which is roughly 2°F warmer than the usual for this time of year – a little above average, but nothing wild.
There’s nothing worth paddling out for until July 22nd. That’s over 12 days of nada. On the morning of the 22nd, we finally get a 4ft swell from the SE, 8-second period, combined energy of 181 – moderate energy. Wind is offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s glassy clean. The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” By afternoon, the swell pushes to 5ft from the ESE, still 8 seconds, energy up to 257. Wind goes cross-offshore from the east at 6 mph, staying clean. That Wednesday is your best bet: morning a little cleaner, afternoon a bit more size. The swell direction is ESE, but this spot prefers ENE, so it’s not a perfect match. Still, with light offshore flow and moderate energy, it’s the standout of the whole forecast.
After that, Thursday the 23rd has similar 4–5ft swell but onshore south winds mess it up with chop. Then it all fades back to tiny and weak. The spot is sheltered and usually fairly consistent, but this 16-day window is mostly a dud. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” but don’t worry – you’ll have the beach to yourself.
If you’ve got to surf, July 22nd is your day. Otherwise, wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
